Since 1998, Dr. Kevin Buckwalter has delivered family medical care, ranging from pediatrics to geriatrics, at his practice in Henderson, Nevada. Dr. Kevin Buckwalter is also a member of the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) and a certified Diplomate of the American Board of Family Medicine (ABFM).
In a recent press release, ABFM announced that it is one of the 39 health care collaborative networks chosen by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to contribute to the Transforming Clinical Practice Initiative (TCPI). The ABFM and the AAFP will receive as much as $538,000 to jointly help clinicians around the country gain access to the tools and network support required for more strategic health care spending, improved information accessibility for patients, and greater quality of care. With the awards, the ABFM and the AAFP will be able to support between 25,000 and 40,000 clinicians.
The organizations will foster practice transformation by facilitating access to a number of programs, including the PRIME Registry. The ABFM will help family physicians use the PRIME Registry to transform electronic health record data into materials that can be used to meet federal reporting requirements, improve practice quality, and enhance Maintenance of Certification (MOC).
